1I’m Just Going at Full Strength2015-01-1125 minSeirin High School makes it into the semifinals of the Winter Cup. They defeated Toô Gakuen, featuring Aomine, and Yosen, featuring Murasakibara, both from the "Generation of Miracles," causing Seirin to be one of the more noticed schools. They firm their resolve towards the semifinals. Kagami, nudged by Kuroko, heads outside of the tournament building in order to reconcile with Himuro, but seeing a guy picking a fight with Himuro and Alex, steps in to help.

2This Is Mine2015-01-1825 minThe other semifinal between Kaijo and Fukuda Sogo begins. For Kise, Haizaki is a nemesis that he has not once won against. Being on Teiko Middle School's starting lineup, Haizaki's skills were definitely there, but due to his arrogant attitude that ignores the rest of the team, the Kaijo team members feel anger against him. Kaijo attacks with steady play but cannot stop Haizaki. Furthermore, Haizaki shoots Moriyama's irregular three pointer as if to show off...!

3Don’t You Get In My Way2015-01-2525 minHaizaki's skill is not copying a move he's seen once, but to "pillage" it. Kaijo starts to be cornered as each player's signature plays are sealed away.

The groove is completely with Fukuda Sogo at an advantage, causing frustration as the Kaijo team couldn't move as they wanted. Kise finally kneels down, but at that moment, a cheer from Kuroko reaches him from the audience. Kise stands up once again as…

Of course, Aomine wasn't going to meekly hand a pair over, and they end up in a one-on-one with the shoes as the prize! Meanwhile, the first semifinal match is between Shutoku and Rakuzan, and…
5I Know None of That2015-02-0825 minThe first semifinal match is between Shutoku and Rakuzan. The offense and defense are both at high levels, creating a see-saw game, but the tides shift in the second quarter. Hayama, one of the "Five Uncrowned Kings," exhibits a dribble with tremendous power and overwhelms Miyaji, who was matched up against him. Furthermore, Otsubo loses a power battle before Nebuya.

6I Will Offer Them2015-02-1525 minFacing Akashi's Emperor Eye, which sees the future movements of the opponents, Shutoku looks like they had no hand to play. But the will to fight once again lights up within the eyes of the team members, and they face Rakuzan with the spirit of "unyielding tenacity"! Thanks to Midorima and Takao's trick play, they try to close the gap in one strong run, but to answer that, Akashi scores in his own goal to the shock of everyone around him. Against Shutoku, who bares their teeth without giving up until the very end, Akashi throws out words that show no mercy.

9Don’t Belittle Us!!2015-03-0825 minThe Seirin-Kaijo game was white-hot due to the battle between their ace players. With the defense and offense reversed now, Seirin goes on the offensive. As the last one to awaken, and one with potential comparable to the Generation of Miracles, Kagami was on his way to unleashing that latent talent. Kise felt that as a threat more than anyone else. That was why he definitely didn't want to lose!!
10In Order to Win2015-03-1525 minKise's injury becomes worse.
